Subject: Vaughn Monroe And a Bear Costume
Vaughn Monroe lip-synchs to his great hit, "Ghost Riders in the Sky," as well as the "Smokey the Bear" song with his family in the woods near their home.
... />There's no real story in this short, just a fire-safety message as Vaughn looks into the camera.
Smokey comes to life from a poster (a guy in half a bear costume). The actor voicing Smokey at the time is heard in the film.
A low-key effort overall, great for fans of Monroe.

Great to see this posted, and with good audio and film quality!
I am the new director of the Vaughn Monroe Orchestra, and am friends with his daughters, ... Candy and Christy. For years, Christy told me she had that bucket!
This was filmed not far from the family's home, on Lake Cochituate in Natick, MA. Though Vaughn Monroe was a superstar, and at that time the most popular singing bandleader in the nation, he was always down-to-earth. He loved the outdoors, boating, fishing, etc. Though this short film is very staged, it does capture Vaughn the person, a family man and a good neighbor. Great to see!
The Vaughn Monroe Appreciation Society is a wonderful place for more information, or on the new band: www.vaughnmonroeshow.com

Vaughn Monroe,the famous vocal singer, band leader, and then spokesman for RCA joins his family in a cute little film made for the 1957 viewers. Probably

geared for children. Monroe sings one of his hits, "Ghost Riders In The Sky."

Subject: Time to ship Chris off somewhere..
I have no idea who this Vaughn Moore is, but thanks to the Prelinger Archive, I now have met his homely wife and his pretty daughter Candy, and his uh,
...
somewhat effeminate son, Chris. As a matter of fact, ChrisÃÂs voice is so high in this film, I was like, whoa.
Oh! The film! ItÃÂs almost like a music video with a message! DonÃÂt cause fires in forests! Vaughn tells us the many ways to prevent fires, with his family conveniently there to give demonstrations on what to do. Vaughan contributes too, by showing the proper way to but out your cigarette, by grinding it into the ground with your foot.. Soon, Chris wanders off and uh, has visions of Smokey The Bear. Soon, Smokey comes to life and starts talking to him. THis is probably the most ridiculous moment in euphemeral film and is an Amelie moment for sure. Pretty funny. Highly Reccomended!
** Edit. Oops, Chris actually IS his daughter, ha ha, silly me.

As far as I know, this is the only video in which Vaughn's entire family appears. The story is corny but it's a nice testament to Vaughn's love of his
